Additional Information
I am a keen gardener doing odd jobs for family, I have a good sense of humour and like nothing better than getting on with the people I work with. In my spare time I like flying my drone and taking snap shots of some of the amazing things in this world, there is a gap in my cv working history because I did a year in Australia as I felt the need to explore and broaden my horizons.
